More than 70 million Americans live with obesity; 38 million have diagnosed diabetes and an additional 98 million have pre-diabetes. For the first time, people are flocking to their doctors for prescription of a new class of medications to treat metabolic disease. So how did a hormone found in lizard venom come to revolutionize diabetes and weight management? And how does my doctor choose which of these drugs is right for me?
